[pygtk] installing pygtk

[Michael Bowers]

My local python installation is 2.6, and pygtk works fine, but I need some of the features of 2.7, so I installed that locally.  Now I need the pygtk bindings but I have not been successful at installing them.
 
I downloaded pygtk-2.24.0.tar.gz.  Configured and got the following error:
 
configure: error: Package requirements (pygobject-2.0 >= 2.21.3) were not met:
No package 'pygobject-2.0' found
 
So I downloaded pygobject-2.28.4.tar.gz.  Configured and got the following error:
 
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.24.0... yes (version 2.24.1) checking for ffi... checking for FFI... no checking for GIO... yes checking for GIOUNIX... yes checking for GI... no
configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.24.0
        gobject-introspection-1.0 >= 0.10.2
    ) were not met:
No package 'gobject-introspection-1.0' found
 
Then I downloaded gobject-introspection-1.31.22.tar.xz.  Configured and got the following error:
 
checking for flex... no
checking for lex... no
configure: error: flex not found but required
 
That's where I stopped trying to install dependencies.  Is there a simpler way to do this?  Do I need all these things or can I turn some of them off or point to already installed libraries?
 
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
Mike B.
